Abstract: Mobile client device wireless charging, communication, and authentication techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a method performed by a mobile client device includes establishing wireless communication with a substrate having an integrated electromagnetic inductive coil in accordance with the mobile client device being at a distance proximal to the substrate to achieve an inductive connection. After establishing the wireless communication, the method includes receiving wireless inductive power from the substrate, establishing communication with a device via the wireless communication with the substrate, and after establishing communication with the device, operating, via the wireless communication, as a user input device for the device by outputting a user interface on a display device of the mobile client device, the user interface being operable to receive user input for the device.

Abstract: Mobile client device wireless charging, communication, and authentication techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a cursor control device includes an external housing configured to be grasped by a hand of a user and an input device module disposed within the housing configured to control movement of a cursor of a computing device that is communicatively coupled to the input device module. The cursor control device also includes one or more buttons accessible via the external housing that are configured to support user interaction to provide inputs to the computing device, a battery disposed within the external housing, and a power port disposed on the external housing and configured to charge an external device using power obtained from the battery disposed within the housing.
